Salmon Skin Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon Skin

    Remove all the flesh from the salmon skin, ensuring it's clean and free of any scales.

  2. 2

    Season the Skin

    Rub the salmon skin with olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and garlic powder, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat a Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. You can add a bit more olive oil if needed.

  4. 4

    Cook the Salmon Skin

    Place the salmon skin, skin-side down, in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.

  5. 5

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the skin and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until crispy on the other side.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve
